Costs Lawyer Professional Qualification (CLPQ)

On 2 February 2022, the CLSB issued a new Costs Lawyer Competency Statement and full details of a proposed new qualification. The Costs Lawyer Professional Qualification (CLPQ) is designed to ensure that students who qualify through the course have developed and been assessed as meeting the CLSB competences as outlined within the Competency Statement.
